Tutorial Challenge: Alter Your Stamps!

Hey all, it's Erica!

Today I'm going to show you a fun way to alter your stamps. 

Now, this works best with simpler line art stamps but if you're ambitious (and way more artistic than me) the sky's the limit!  :D

I'm using this stamp from CC Designs, Pumpkin Emma.  I'm going to alter it so that I only have the image of the girl to work with and not the wagon.

First up, I inked up only the portion of the stamp I wanted to use. 

 

Then, using a baby wipe, I carefully wiped the ink off of the handle of the wagon. 

 

Try to keep as much of the girl inked as possible.

Here she is, without her wagon and without a bit of her hand, dress and apron, too!  Don't worry, we'll fix up!

Now, find a pen whose nib width matches your image.  I chose a pen with a .01mm nib for this stamp.  Then, draw in her missing parts. 

Here she is all redrawn!  It actually is a lot easier than it looks.  Trust me!  :)

 
 
   And, here's Emma, in all her wagon-less glory!  So cute!!  :D

Now for your challenge.  Create a project using an altered stamped image.  It can be a card, layout or even a home decor project.  Upload your project in our gallery and link it here by the end of June to be entered to win a prize from the AWDML store.  You can use this technique or one of your own, just make sure that you don't use the stamp image as is.  :D
